Hello Again (The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles #2) by Brenda Novak

SHE CAN MAKE SENSE OF A COMPLEX CRIMINAL MIND.
Evelyn Talbot, a psychiatrist at a maximum-security prison in Alaska, studies some of the world's worst serial killers. But she's about to meet her most elusive patient at Hanover House yet: Dr. Lyman Bishop, AKA the Zombie Maker given his fondness for performing ice-pick lobotomies on his victims. A brilliant cancer researcher, Bishop is either the most cunning psychopath Evelyn has ever encountered--or he is wrongly convicted.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CRIMINAL CAN SEE INTO HER OWN?
When a new ice-pick fatality occurs, it seems Bishop really was wrongly convicted. Except...Evelyn has a personal connection to the victim and that suggests the killer may be someone from her own past: Jasper Moore, her high school boyfriend who tortured her and left her for dead when she was only sixteen. Jasper also murdered three of her friends--and was never caught. Is he trying to send a message with this copycat crime? The only thing Evelyn knows for sure is that if Jasper is on her trail, she might not be able to escape again . 


Review: Thank you NetGalley and Brenda Novak for the ARC of Hello Again that I read and reviewed.
The second installment of The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles picked up right where the first one left off and this one was packed with more suspense and thrills. The killer that Evelyn had come to Alaska this time was Dr. Lyman Bishop, AKA the Zombie Maker and he was what I would call one sick puppy who was accused of giving his victim ice-pick lobotomies. When it was learned that the detective on the case planted evidence and he was going to be set free so Evelyn makes it her mission to put him back behind bars. 
She also has to deal with Jasper Moore, high school sweet heart who tried to kill her and murdered her high school friends that is still out there killing and still want to finish what he started all those years ago. When her boyfriend an Alaska cop uncovers evidence that Jasper is still active and killing a new wave of terror for Evelyn is unleashed.
This book is full of murder, suspense and some romance. It is also a great lead for the next book that I can't wait to come out. This is a book you won't want to put down.
I am giving Hello Again five out of five stars.
